Welcome to Dave's Trains.

The ex-Caledonian Railway lines north of the Clyde

These pages illustrate a photographic visit to the remains
of what was part of Glasgow's extensive suburban railway network. Images
digitally captured during the summer of 2009. No attempt has been made to
provide the historical background to these lines built by the Lanarkshire &
Dunbartonshire Railway and the Glasgow Central Railway both of which became
absorbed into the Caledonian Railway in the early twentieth century. Passenger
services were withdrawn from these lines in October 1964.

The
inspiration for this visit was the book "An Illustrated History of Glasgow's
Railways" published by the Irwell Press. Thanks is also due to Paul
Anderson for kind permission to use his map of the original North Side railway
network.

Superimposed on the map are stations marked in
red, click on
